vIMPROVEMENT IN WHHITEWASH AND PASTE BRUSHES.

Specifieation forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,421, dated J annary ,2, 1872.'

To all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, J ,onN S. WHITE, of Yortland, county of Oumberland and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful improved Whitewash `or lPaste Brush; and I hereby by declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingforming part of this description, in Which- Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a top view. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section.

My invention relates to certain improvements i'n Whitewash or paste brushes, Where- I claim to increase the strength and durability of the brush, prevent the destruction of the band by the liquids in which the brush is used, and the working back of the bristles. My invention consists of a double band around the upper ends of the bristles, one of metal and one of leather, and of an arrangement of the bristles so that there shall be left between the bands and the 'wooden head of the brush a small channel for the pouring in of cement, resin, or vother substance, to pre- .Vent the Working into the bristles any of the liquor in which the brush is used, and also of the Working' back of the bristles. This also adds greatly to the strength and firmness of the brush. o

`a shows the outer or metal band; b, the .leather or inner band; c, the trough or recess over the bristles and between the band and the head; d, the manner of aflxing the resin or cement. The two straps a b about double the strength of the brush. The cement or resp in filling sets into the heads of the'bristles and thus makes a hard, solid mass of them, and With the cement, &c., glued onto the Wooden head and to the band. Thus the bristles cannot Work back]7 Which is a' common fault With common brushes. The outer band or strap maybe made of brass, copper, zinc, iron, or tin, or composition; the inner of leather, cloth, or rubber, or any equivalent substance.

I do not claimthe several parts herein described, by themselves, but- What I desire to embrace is- 1. The brush, for the purposes described, combining the described improvements.

2. The brush as herein described, combining the outer or metal band a, the leath er or inner band b, the recess or trough c, the arrangement of the bristles, and the use or application of the cement, allas herein described.

- JOHN S. WHITE.
